Serial Experiments Lain is another one of my alltime favourite animes. i wish i could experience it for the first time again. i watched it years back on youtube & the feeling it gave me was something for sure - sort of uncanny but hopeful ?. the opening, Duvet by Boa (one of my fav bands!) was enough to send chills down my spine. i don't think i fully understood the story then, not even now. but wow. i really connected with it & i saw myself so much in Lain Iwakura - a quiet younger sister, disconnected from reality. there was a funny post on pinterest about someone's favourite animes being about 14 year olds who became Gods (metaphorically), referring to Lain and Madoka. and i mean, for me, that's also true. 14 was such an important age in my life. it was the age i always wanted to be from such a young age, still want to be. but in reality it was such a tumultuous period in my life and i deffo did not have the best time lol, although it did teach me very much & brought on so many changes both pleasant & not so pleasant :')
